Reef Encounter, the new fascinating tile conquering game by Richard Breese, is strangely reminiscent of 'Euphrates and Tigris', but interesting in it's own right. The rules and options are VERY confusing at first, so it might turn some first time players off. But it comes together in the game, which plays very tense - every action counts! Kudos also to an unusual and well handled theme, that holds together the abstract design without feeling forced on. Another winner by the prolific Breese!
